A 9-day Mongolia self-drive expedition from the camel herds of the Gobi dunes to the horse country of the Khangai, by way of Karakorum.
Gobi Dunes to Horse Country
01 Inicio
This route runs the length of the country’s two great halves, and it starts the moment you land. No city night, no hotel lobby, no wasted first morning — you collect your vehicle at the airport and drive south to the edge of the Gobi the same day.
It begins among the granite towers of the northern Gobi, crosses the layered escarpment country at Tsagaan Suvarga White Stupa and Petroglyphs near the Red Stupa, drops into the sand dunes at Moltsog Els and out to the Flaming Cliffs where the world’s first dinosaur eggs were lifted from the rock. Then it turns north, follows the Ongi river out of the desert, and climbs into the green half of Mongolia — a hidden valley of horse herds, the old imperial capital at Kharkhorin, and the dune belt at Elsen Tasarkhai where the sand meets the grassland on a single clean line.
You drive it yourself. Every night of the journey is booked and confirmed before you leave Ulaanbaatar, the vehicle is equipped for the whole route, and a day-by-day roadbook with GPS tracks, waypoints, fuel stops and camp coordinates goes with you. The route follows established tracks throughout and needs no previous off-road experience. Our team in Ulaanbaatar is one message away at any point, 24/7.
The departure is private. Nothing on this itinerary is shared with another party.
1.1 ¿Por qué elegir este circuito?
- Camels to Horses: Ride Bactrian camels on the Gobi dunes on day three, and stand among a thousand grazing horses in a hidden Khangai valley on day six.
- You Drive, We Plan: A fully equipped off-road 4×4, a day-by-day GPS roadbook and every night pre-booked — all the freedom of a self-drive, none of the logistics.
- Straight Into the Wild: The only Gobi tour that starts at the airport gate. You are camping under the stars on night one, not sitting in a hotel lobby.
- Two Mongolias in One Trip: Red desert cliffs and singing sand in the south, green valleys, lakes and horse country in the north.
- Empire and Ink: Erdene Zuu Monastery, 108 stupas and the ruins of Karakorum — 800 years of Mongol history in a single afternoon.
- Nine Days, Not Fifteen: The full Gobi and Central Mongolia experience compressed into a route that fits a normal holiday.

09 Preguntas frecuentes
What is the "Gobi Dunes to Horse Country" tour?
It’s a 9-day Gobi Desert and Central Mongolia off-road self-drive expedition. You drive a fully equipped 4×4 yourself along a pre-planned GPS route, with every night booked in advance and 24/7 remote support from our team in Ulaanbaatar.
How long is the Gobi Dunes to Horse Country self-drive tour?
Nine days and eight nights, covering roughly 1,400 km. It is our shortest route that still takes in both the Gobi Desert and the historic sites of Central Mongolia. The route can be extended and other Gobi Highlights like Khongoryn Els Sand Dunes can be added.
Can I ride camels and horses on this tour?
Yes. Camel riding with a herding family on the dunes at Moltsog Els is included on day three. Horse riding can be arranged in the Valley of a Thousand Horses on day six and at Kharkhorin — just let us know in advance.
Do I need off-road driving experience?
No. The route follows established tracks used throughout the season and is graded Tour Level 3. You receive a full vehicle briefing and handover on arrival, plus a day-by-day roadbook with GPS tracks, waypoints and fuel stops.
What are the main highlights of the tour?
Tsagaan Suvarga (the White Stupa), the sand dunes and camel herds at Moltsog Els, the Flaming Cliffs at Bayanzag where the first dinosaur eggs were discovered, Ongi Monastery, the Valley of a Thousand Horses, and Erdene Zuu Monastery at Kharkhorin — the site of ancient Karakorum.
Does this tour visit Khongoryn Els or Yolyn Am?
No. This route trades the long southern detour to Dalanzadgad for a faster loop, which is what makes nine days possible. If you want the Singing Dunes and the Yolyn Am ice gorge, we can extend the tour by two days, or look at our longer Gobi routes.
¿Qué tipo de alojamiento hay disponible?
Wild camping with full equipment provided, traditional ger camps, provincial hotels and a spa hotel at Kharkhorin. You choose the balance when you book, from mostly camping to a hotel or ger camp every night.
When is the best time to do this tour?
Mid-May to late September. June and September offer the most reliable light and the most comfortable temperatures, while July brings the naadam season and the greenest steppe.
What time do I need to land in Ulaanbaatar?
The tour drives south on the day you arrive, so a morning or early-afternoon landing is required. If your flight arrives in the evening, we simply add a night in Ulaanbaatar and start the following morning.
¿Cuánto cuesta la visita?
The starting price is EUR 2,300 per person, not including personal expenses such as food and fuel.
¿Qué incluye el paquete turístico?
Airport transfers, vehicle handover and route briefing on arrival, 24/7 remote support, a route map and GPS roadbook, all accommodation on the route, and curated activities along the way.
¿Hay algún coste adicional no incluido en el precio del viaje?
Yes. Food and fuel are managed by you, and a 5,000,000 or 9,000,000 MNT depending on vehicleT car rental deposit is not included, along with flights, visa fees and travel insurance.
